There's already a publicly available implementation handling
the full locale-aware Unicode casing, in both Chicken and Gauche.

For those who want to try it out, install Chicken scheme, install
the utf8 module

  # chicken-setup utf8

start Chicken:

  # csi -syntax

and then you have access to the "upcase," "downcase," and
"titlecase" procedures which take a string as the first argument
and optional locale-string as the second argument.
